Definitions
- ears have been cast into the housing adjacent each end in offset relation to the neck part and in alignment with a bolt hole of a flange in order to receive a shortened bolt for securing the flange in place.
- the shortened bolts terminate short of the neck part.
- these constructions cause problems.
- the cast-in ears can cause body distortion with resulting seat ring leakage due to the cantilever stresses which are imposed in bolting.
- the invention provides a housing for an eccentric rotary control valve which has a cylindrical body part and a neck part extending in offset relation from the cylindrical body part.
- the cylindrical part has a longitudinal axis and a smooth uninterrupted outer surface while the neck part extends on an axis radially offset from the longitudinal axis of the body part.
- This housing can be used for either a flanged construction or a flangeless construction.
- the inventory necessary can be substantially reduced since a single housing can be used for either type construction.
- the housing cooperates with a pair of flanged pipes which are disposed at opposite ends of the cylindrical body part, a plurality of draw bolts which extend co-axially of the cylindrical body part through the flanges to secure the flanged pipes and housing together, a stud block between the flanges and a pair of cap screws, each of which passes through a respective flange into threaded engagement with the stud block.
- the cap screws and draw bolts are disposed at equal spacings about the flanges and, for this purpose, the flanges each have a plurality of equi-spaced peripherally disposed apertures.
- the stud block is of a generally square cross-sectional shape with three sidewalls and one curvilinear sidewall facing the housing.
- the stud block has a recess in the curvilinear sidewall which partially encompasses the neck part of the housing.
- the generally square shape of the block allows wrenching and the cross-section is sized to take both bending and tension stresses from bolting of the valve in a pipeline.
- the stud block is coped to the outside of the valve body but with a one-eighth inch minimum clearance to avoid unwanted forces and stresses on a shell of the valve housing.
- two flanges which are separate from the housing are mounted on the housing.
- the cylindrical body part of the housing is provided with an outer annular groove near each end for receiving a circular key to secure a received flange on the body part.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of an eccentric rotary control valve constructed in accordance with the invention between two pipes;
- FIG. 2 illustrates a view taken on line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 illustrates an exploded view of the parts of the control valve shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 illustrates an end view of the housing of the control valve of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a part cross-sectional view of the valve parts shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 6 illustrates a further embodiment of the eccentric rotary control valve having a flanged housing in accordance with the invention.
- the housing 10 for an eccentric rotary control valve includes a cylindrical body part 11 having a longitudinal axis and a smooth uninterrupted outer surface, as well as a cylindrical neck part 12 which extends from the body part 11 on an axis radially offset from the longitudinal axis of the body part 11.
- the body part 11 is generally constructed to be inserted between two pipes 13 in a pipeline to form a continuation between the two pipes 13.
- the neck part 12 generally serves as a housing for a rotary valve body (not shown) which is able to seat on a suitable seating surface (not shown) disposed within the cylindrical body part 11 to open and close the pipeline.
- the details of such a construction are not further shown as such are not necessary for an understanding of the invention.
- each pipe 13 is provided with a flange 14 which is welded onto the end of the pipe 13 via a weld 15.
- Each flange 14 is of annular shape and is butted against a respective end of the housing 11 with a sealing gasket 16 sandwiched between the flange 14 and housing 11 (FIG. 5).
- Each flange 14 also has a plurality of equi-spaced, peripherally disposed apertures 17 generally disposed on a spacing according to ANSI (American National Standard Institute) flange standards as well as a raised annular portion 18 which receives the end of a pipe 13.
- a plurality of draw bolts 19 extend coaxially of the cylindrical body part 11 through the flanges 14 and receive suitable nuts 20 at the free ends in order to secure the flanges 14 to the body part 11 and to each other.
- a stud block 21 is disposed between the flanges 14 and receives a pair of cap screws 22. As indicated, each cap screw 22 passes through an aperture 17 in a respective flange 14 into coaxial threaded engagement with a threaded bore 23 in an end of the stud block 20.
- the stud block 21 extends between the flanges 14 and is of a length to extend around the neck part 12.
- the block 21 is also shaped to fit substantially within the contours of the flanges 14 and, for example, has a generally square cross-sectional shape with three flat sidewalls 24 and a curvilinear sidewall 25 facing the housing 10.
- This square shape of the stud block 21 allows wrenching when the cap screws 22 and stud block 21 are put in place.
- a recess or coping 26 is disposed in the curvilinear sidewall 25 to partially encompass the neck part 12. As indicated in FIG. 2, the recess 26 is spaced from the neck part 12 by a distance of, for example, one-eighth inch. This clearance between the stud block 21 and the neck part 12 reduces the risk of damaging of the housing 10 when the stud block 21 is bolted in place, for example, should one side of the stud block 21 be offset from the other.
- the stud block 21 is of a material, such as carbon steel or any other suitable ferrous or non-ferrous material, and size sufficient to take bending and torsion stresses equivalent to the bending and torsion stresses in the draw bolts 19.
- each draw bolt 19 is able to pass between the flanges 14 on a straight longitudinal axis.
- the neck part 11 of the housing 10 projects into the plane of the center line on which the cap screws 22 are located (FIG. 4).
- the stud block 21 permits the cap screws 22 to be utilized while, in effect, passing the forces generated in the cap screws 22 around the neck part 12.
- the housing 10 may also be used to form a flanged construction.
- an annular ring 28 is fitted over each end of the body part 11 to form a flange.
- an annular groove 27 is formed near each end of the body part 11 and a circular key 30 is fitted into each groove 27 in projecting manner.
- each ring 28 has a recess 29 on the inside to receive the projecting portion of a circular key 30.
- the keys 30 may be of split construction to be easily fitted into a groove 27.
- Each ring 28 also has a plurality of equi-spaced apertures 31 which are aligned with the apertures 17 of an abutting flange 14 of a pipe 13.
- the respective flanges 17 and rings 28 are secured together by means such as bolts 32 and nuts 33.
- the invention thus provides a housing which can be used for any ANSI pressure rating. Further, the invention provides one body configuration which can be used for flanged or flangeless body construction.
- the invention further provides a housing with a smooth uninterrupted outer surface so that there is no need for any integrally cast ears or lugs.
- the invention further provides a construction which can reduce the number of parts which are kept in inventory since the housing can be used for various sizes and diameters of flanged constructions.
- NASI standards for pipe flanges and flanged fittings
- ANSI standard B16.5-1977 for class 150 through 600 steel pipe flanges and flanged valve fittings.
- the standard number of bolts is either eight or twelve with the diameter of the bolts ranging from five-eights inch to seven-eights inches.
- the neck part of an eccentric rotary control valve housing interferes with the center line of one pair of aligned apertures.
